Valentine’s Day is all about a romantic date with that special someone. But there’s a lot to love about Galentine’s Day, when women everywhere ditch the guys and toast the tribe. Here in Houston, some beloved institutions are making sure local ladies have a blast with their BFFs, squad, and gal pals.
Look for a totally delish steak night, chick flicks at the drive-in, shopping (duh), yoga, and even a Leslie Knope-inspired brunch. Here are your best Galentine’s Day bets. Text the crew, drop the dudes, and mask up for serious fun.
